Area code 479

Area code 479 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for thirteen counties in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Arkansas. The numbering plan area (NPA) includes the cities of Bentonville, Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Rogers, Siloam Springs and Springdale. It was created on January 19, 2002 in an area code split of area code 501.

When 870 transitioned to ten-digit calling in January 2024, this is only Arkansas area code that still uses seven-digit local calling for now.
